    1. [OH-Old-News] Divorce, McCollester, 1878
    2. >From the Ohio State Journal, dated June 4, 1878: Mrs. McCollester, of Iowa, will not go into the divorce business any more should she remarry. She and McCollester lived unhappily. He sued for divorce. Divorce suit dragged its slow length in the Iowa courts. Pending suit, they made love to each other. Made up. Lived together. Forgot the suit. He died. She claimed property. Found that proceedings had not been stopped. Suit had gone on of itself, like the Dutchman's famous cork leg, immortalized in the old song. Mrs. McCollester, not being the widow of McCallester, deceased, not only mourns the loss of McCollester himself, but of the estate she had hoped to remember him by. And she is much disgusted.
